Okay, so the story flowed well, but wao there is very little chance anything the guy did here will happen in reality, I love the art, fan of the mangaka, but the story was what the heck =.= all the way~

USUALLY I like melodramas. USUALLY I am pretty lenient on dramas / romances / shoujo ratings and reviews, and even student-teacher relationships which I tend to not like very much. They're my least favorite type of relationship. So I picked up this one because it had pretty stellar reviews, especially for a oneshot. But right from the start, I had this queasy feeling in my stomach that it was going to be super cliche and melodramatic, and I was right.

But this one was weird! It was super melodramatic, without making me feel like any of the characters were real or making me as a reader feel anything. Sure, it got more sweet towards the end, but I still couldn't shake the fact that the guy was super weird. Both characters suddenly, immediately fell in love with each other, but I didn't fall in love with any of the characters, and I didn't ship them at all. That's a no-no for me. The art is pretty, the storyline, although rushed, isn't bad. Usually I'd get a fluttery feeling in my chest if I read a manga about a cute mysterious stranger waiting for a girl in a bus stop. But no, the whole romantic feelings were killed by the characters' random dramaticness. It was just so unrealistic! I found myself going "WTF" over and over and over (not just once).

Sure, if it were longer, and if the guy wouldn't stop declaring his love for the girl right after he saw her for the first time ever, and then over and over after that at random times, maybe I'd think it was good. But the mangaka would have to scrap most of the panels and insert pages and pages of character and relationship development. I want to see the characters truly fall in love with each other, not just become moved by each other's declarations of love.

The characters are melodramatic and unrealistic. One guy, after seeing a girl for a few seconds, tells her the next time they meet that 'I couldn't forget about you all day long', like who says that to someone they don't even know the name of? And she wasn't even smiling or flirting at him!

The kicker is that he tells her

I really love you

the third freaking time he sees her!

And then BOOM

After her teacher who she was involved with got fired for being with her, the SECOND guy, who told her 'i really love you', turns out to be her NEXT teacher!

Perfect pacing, beautiful characterisation, delicate artwork are all factors that make this manga great. However, what makes this manga truly marvelous is the portrayal of the two main leads. It's not often that you find such a strong, mature female lead and a kind, endearing male lead. The relationship that unfolds is really beautiful.

I love this. Usually, I don't really read male teacher - female student relationships but I really liked this one. It's so cute and I love the female lead's character.

I thought it will be another typical Student-teacher relationship where the girl fights for their relationship but no. This isn't one.Ito decided to choose the right choice. She ended it with Nakamura-Sensei resulting for her to bloom.The ending didn't disappoint...

I'll give this a 9 since I wish there was more But all in all I really love this

Beautiful art, likeable characters, & decent, though cliche, plot, but it struck me as so melodramatic! There were several places in the manga where I was laughing when I wasn't supposed to. Of course, most manga in the "drama & romance" genre are quite melodramatic...Anyway, I still liked it. The most distinguishing thing about it is how gentle and caring the male lead is.

I think this was done perfectly and most realistically as a teacherxstudent romance. Most of the manga I've read, they continue to date secretly or the teacher just outright rejects the student at some point. But this was just too cute for words.

Oh and I really enjoyed the fact that it was the teacher who fell for her first (even if it was quick, it's sweet) and that they didn't see each other first in a school setting. But I don't see it as a love at first sight kind of thing, more of the 'I want to know more about you to see how I really feel' kind of deal.

I love this story, definitely one of the best student teacher story. I love the drawing (shiraishi sensei is awesome ^_*v), the plot is not cliche', male lead not a jerk but very sweet kind hearted man and female lead is a strong, beautiful girl with beautiful hair...

Although it was a while since I read it, I can still remembers that it was really good. The feelings really reaches the audience and the ending is very sweet. This is a must read for romance lovers. I am also a fan of studentxteacher mangas. Forbidden love in modern time. ^^ And also, the art is good.

The teacherxstudent combination has been done a countless number of times. The thing about this one is that it deviates from the usual, obvious, and unrealistic path that most teacherxstudent relationships are carried out and that is exactly why it gives off the most gorgeous inexplicable feeling and becomes inexplicably memorable--even for a oneshot. It may be short but as kichiX stated, 'it's shortness is sweet'. It is fitting that it is short--like those fleeting moments of your life that stay with you for a lifetime.

The emotional buildup of feelings that you get from watching the characters is intensely real, so real that they feel almost alive. In the span of two chapters, I felt so many varying degrees of emotions with the characters, from the wistfulness of nostalgia, to the gentle feeling of being calm, to the surging waves of disbelief to sadness, to hope--all in one go. It was an amazing experience--so amazing in fact, that I read this oneshot again and again.
